Details

Currently, xf86-video-nouveau depends on mesa-dri. This makes the user choose between one of the packages which provide mesa-dri (mesa, mach64-dri, savage-dri, sis-dri, r128-dri, unichrome-dri, mga-dri, tdfx-dri, i810-dri). These are all incompatible with xf86-video-nouveau, except for mesa. It should just depend on mesa.

The same goes for the xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-intel packages.
This task depends upon

Imho a more appropriate solution is to revert back to using foo-dri as a dependency, i.e. revert this commit [1].
Although it's up-to the package maintainer to make the call.

This is no longer a major issue, as now only mesa provides mesa-dri.
